Not going??

I know there are several posts about constipation on here.. However, I have tried most everything I can think of. MOM, fiber, coffee, and today a suppository. No results. Tomorrow will be a week. Although I should mention my last bm shouldn't even be considered a bm, because of how sparse it was. If I decide to go to the doctor tomorrow, what's he gonna do to me!? Also, any advice in this subject is very welcomed. I know I need to up my fiber and talk to my doc about my vitamins(which I think is the culprit) but I need relief, like yesterday!!
Signed,

I haven't tried a whole lot but I've been taking 2 stool softeners a day (1 in the am and 1 in the pm) and that keeps me some what regular. In able to go every 2nd or 3rd day depending on whether or not I've forgotten to take one one day.

If diet changes, extra fiber, MOM, stool softeners, and suppositories don't work, definitely go see the Dr to rule out anything serious. They are probably going to suggest an enema and maybe a stronger laxative to get things started. Don't forget to hydrate! That will definitely slow you down. I was told that pear juice is really good at getting things moving (so is prune juice, but not as palatable) Are you on any medications that could be causing constipation? I know that it is a very common problem for those of us on Zofran for HG. The lack of adequate diet, dehydration from throwing up, and as a side effect from the meds, I have read some crazy things that women have done to try to get it out. I think a consult with your Dr is probably your safest bet at this point.

Oh no! I'm sorry you are going through this! I know how u feel and it's the worst - MOM always works for me! My nurse and doctor both recommended Colace for me as well when I discussed the issue with them - maybe that could work for you. It didn't for me, but it's worth a try. Call and speak to your doctor/nurse for some suggestions.
